FIREMPLACE HEATER.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 427,767', dated May 13, 1890.

Application filed September 2G, 1889. Serial No. 325,110. (No model.)

To aZ whom t may concern:

Be it known that I, THOMAS B. JACKSON, a citizen of the United States, residing at Belmont, in the county of Belmont and State et' Ohio, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Fire-Place Heaters; and I do declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it apperlains to make and use the same, re't'erence bein g had to the accompanying drawings, and to the letters of reference marked thereon, which form a part of this speciiication.

This invention relates to hre-place heaters which heat by direct radiation and by hot air.

The object of the invention is to increase the heating surface and capacity of the hotair chambers, whereby the fuel is used to the best possible advantage.

The improvement consists of the novel features and the peculiar construction and combination of the parts, which will be hereinafter more fully described and claimed, and which are shown in the accompanying drawings, in which- Figure I isafrontviewof aiire-plaee heater embodying my invention. Fig. 2 is a crosssection on the line YY of Fig. I. Fig. 3 is a longitudinal section on the line X X of Fig. 2.

rIhe fire-place comprises two side hot-air chambers A A, one on each side of the regrate B, a rear hot-air compartment O, and the two horizontal hot-airboxes D and E, the hot-air box E communieatingin the rear with the compartment O and at its ends with the chambers A A through openings a in the inner side Walls ot' said chambers, and the box DV communicating at its ends with the chambers A through openings b in the said inner side walls of chambers A. The hot-air box E projects over the iire-grate B, terminating short of the plane of the front plate F to leave a vert-ical passage f for the escape of smoke and gases. The box D is placed directly above the box E and extends from the front plate to within a short distance of the back plate Gr,leavin a smoke-passage g in the rear thereof. The box D is placed above box E sniflieiently far to form the smoke-tine 71, between them. A register II is placed in the front of box D for the escape of hot air into the room.

The heater may be used forheating ad joining rooms or rooms above by connecting suitable condueting-pipes with the hot-air chambers thereof, the pipes connecting at convenient points, as at I.

The operation of the heater is as follows: Cold air enters thecempartment C through pipe or pipes J, passing from the same into box E, and from box E into the chambers A A through opening a, and from said chambers A A into box D through opening b, and from box D into room through register II. The smoke and gases pass upward from grate B through passage f, iiue 7L, and passage g into chimney. (Not shown.)

IIaving fully described my invention, what I claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

l. A fireplace heater comprising side hotair chambers, a rear hot-air compartment, an d horizontal hot-air boxes D and E, arranged above the fire-grate and communicating with the hot-air chambers an d having a smoke-flue between them, the hot-air box D having a register in its front, substantially described.

2. The combination, with the hot-air chambers A A, having the tire-grate arranged between them, and the hot-air compartment O in the rear of the grate, of the two horizontal hot-air boxes D and E between the hot-air chambers and communicating therewith at their ends through openings b and u, respectively, the box E opening into compartment O and arranged directly over the fire-grate, and the box- D having register II and placed above the smoke-Hue 7L, substantially as and for t-he purpose described. a I

In testimony whereof I afiiit my signature in presence of two witnesses.

THOMAS JACKSON.
